Hi There,
I am a long term reader of the forum but a recent subscriber. I'd like to first say that i have already tried all solutions suggested here and wherever else so if anyone has a different way to work i'd be glad.
Since Win10 update my V7 has has two unsolved issues and these issues are by now rooted in the machine behavior even after the last November Win 10 update.
Problem one: Machine won't shut down completely. You need to keep hardware button pressed for X seconds to shut it down. Also, sometimes button pressing won't start up the machine immediately (blue led comes up in X seconds)
Problem 2: Booting times are endless, with countless black screens in between the ACER boot screen and the actual moment in which the machine becomes usable. IRST drivers from Intel are not installable, IRST file driver from Acer tells me that a newer driver is already installed. No RST icons shown on the tray, and the machine behaves oddly in any case till it starts. Once started, everything works fine.
When battery-fed (outside home) often it refuses to start up for X seconds to then randomly startup.
I also think the two issues are related because if i deactivate the fast boot, sometimes (but not always) the machine shuts down properly. However, after one or two times it restarts not to shut down properly
I'd like to thank anyone in advance for any suggestions.
Eric
